Feature Request: Competitive Intelligence use case via Intelica x402 API

[teodorofodocrispin-cmyk]

Use case

Competitive intelligence for AI agents — agents that evaluate markets, screen startups, or analyze competitors before making business decisions.

The API

Intelica is a competitive intelligence API fully compliant with x402 v2:

• decision_recommendation.action — enter / avoid / monitor / acquire / partner
• intelica_moat_index — structural moat score (0.0–1.0) across 3,600+ companies
• detected_competitors — mapped from real sources
• execution_plan — week 1 actions, budget guidance, validation signals

Price: $0.05 USDC standard · Networks: eip155:8453 + Solana · x402Version: 2

Agent pays autonomously via AgentCore Payments

from strands import Agent
from strands_tools import http_request
from bedrock_agentcore.payments.integrations.config import AgentCorePaymentsPluginConfig
from bedrock_agentcore.payments.integrations.strands.plugin import AgentCorePaymentsPlugin

config = AgentCorePaymentsPluginConfig(
    payment_manager_arn="arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-east-1:ACCOUNT:payment-manager/pm-ID",
    user_id="user-123",
    payment_instrument_id="instrument-ID",
    payment_session_id="session-ID",
    region="us-east-1",
)

agent = Agent(
    model="us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20251001-v1:0",
    system_prompt="Analyze competitive markets. POST to https://api.intelica.dev/intel with {text, mode}.",
    tools=[http_request],
    plugins=[AgentCorePaymentsPlugin(config=config)],
)

# Agent pays $0.05 USDC autonomously when it hits the 402
result = agent("Should I build a Stripe competitor for Southeast Asia?")
